Everton's eight-match winning run at Goodison Park ended after Pedro broke through the home resistance with his 25-yard (meter) strike in the 66th minute. Defender Gary Cahill and midfielder Willian also scored as Chelsea looks to regain the trophy from Leicester.

Chelsea moved seven points ahead of Tottenham, which was hosting Arsenal later Sunday. Europa League-chasing Everton is seventh.
